GADAG INSCRIPTION OF BHILLAMA,
219
Of the localities mentioned in this inscription, Kratuka is Gadag itself, and HiriyaHandigola probably is the village of 'Hundeegol,' about six miles west by north of Gadag; the place Hêrûrâ mentioned in line 12 I am unable to identify.

Prom an impression, snpplied to me by Dr. Fleet. MetreArya.
Metre of verses 2-9. Sloks (Anushtabb). • This sign of punctuation is superfluous.
Here about three aksharas are intentionally effaced; but these aksharas must hnve been Bhillama, and I believe that the traces which remain of them, fully justify this reading.
